CC :: Durham v Warwickshire

[Twisted]

fancy new deckchairs for the ground staff?

One of them was on the YouTube chat at the start of play, had a brief chat with him. Suggested the new square is supposed to dry quickly and encourage alot more spin than in recent years. I wondered how much that's tied into the return of badger

 

[brandon]

Said this on the Hameed thread but Lees for England anyone? Been solid since he joined us and just turned 28

He’s fine where he is.

You could sit Brandon, WHED and DJ in front of this and hook them up to the national grid

She seems canny, already at women’s Test standard.

202-0 this is mint this like

Fairplay to Franklin!

 

[Twisted]

Jennings and Stoneman both got called up on the back of their Durham form mind

stoneman had already left ( and deserved more attention for years whilst at durham) and jennings, i think was in his last year here?

rocky & badger were the most consistent batsmen in the country for years at durham and never got a sniff, jennings scored what 1700-1800 runs the year he got selected and then left shortly after

She seems canny, already at women’s Test standard.

BINGO!

If that’s true, it seems fairly poor from a planning perspective given our complete dearth of quality spin bowlers.

BATTED LEESY LAD!!

100* from 283 balls with 11 fours.

Durham 239-1.

When did we last have both openers going to their century in the same innings?

 

[The Red Telephone]

Well done Lees.

Badger has bowled some absolute filth since he returned. If he was being brought back as a spinner, that stratagem backfired.

I don’t think he was. Everywhere he’s been his bowling has been a ‘bonus’ more than anything else.

256-2 - Borthwick pinned lbw to a shooter. Lead is 169.

 

[WishyWashy]

Borthwick out LBW. That basically rolled along the wicket.

Bonus for the batsmen, seeing those two juicy full tosses every over.

Other than Chelmsford his batting hasn't impressed me tbh. Not much he could do about that rat ball just now but he didn't look all that comfortable before that

 

[brandon]

266-3 - Bedingham beaten by a ball that pitched well short of a length and didn’t get above shoelace height.

Warwickshire fielders didn’t even celebrate, with a deficit of 179 it’s not exactly encouraging for them to see the nature of the last two dismissals

 

[WishyWashy]

Some massive demons showing in the pitch now.

 

[smoker]

This wicket is wank, I hope Burnham just comes out and slogs for five overs

Some massive demons showing in the pitch now.

Wouldn't surprise me if this wicket was rated poor.

That one reared up.

 

[WishyWashy]

Losing wickets in gloomy conditions again. Nee luck.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

here we go

 

[brandon]

269-4. Burnham now lbw, Marty making the point of how gloomy it is. Lead is 182.

Off for rain at 271-4. Tea taken.

 

[smoker]

How are they still out?
